FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PC-Mac-Net FileShare v1.5 streamlines file transfers over LAN or Internet with automatic cross-platform file renaming and drag and drop functionality ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA -- April 9, 2002 -- Lava Software is now shipping PC-Mac-Net FileShare v1.5, a product which allows users to transfer files easily and securely between any type of Windows PC and Macintosh over a Local Area Network (LAN) or the Internet. File transfers can be paused and resumed at any time, ensuring that even very large files can be reliably transferred. This new version makes it much easier to transfer large numbers of files between PCs and Macs quickly and efficiently, whilst correctly retaining file name extensions and types/creators. Files transferred from a Windows PC to a Macintosh have their type/creator set automatically, based on the PC file name extension. Files transferred from a Macintosh to a Windows PC have their PC file name extension added automatically, based on the Macintosh file's type/creator. The list matching Macintosh file types/creators to PC file name extensions can be modified by the user. The names of files stored in the 'Shared' folder are now automatically changed, if necessary, to ensure cross-platform file name compatibility. All exotic characters which may cause problems are removed, and file names which are too long are shortened whilst correctly retaining their file name extensions. Drag and drop functionality has been added in this release, allowing users to drag files from the desktop onto the 'My local file list', thus allowing them to be shared. On the Macintosh, files can also be dragged out of the 'My local file list' and dropped onto the desktop. The free demo software is fully functional and allows users to evaluate PC-Mac-Net FileShare for an unlimited time, though only files less than 2mb in size can be transferred. The full version, priced at USD24.95, can transfer files of any size. Purchasers get download access to the current version of the software for all platforms, as well as free upgrades for one year. Versions are available for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP, MacOS Classic (from System 7.6.1 upwards, with PPC processor), and MacOS X. About the Company Lava Software Pty.
